Wicked Times at Westfest

If it's summertime in June, it's time for Westfest. Isabelle has never encountered a street party that she doesn't love so we were certainly not going to disappoint her. Oliver is just getting into the festival scene but has the best of tour guides in his big sister. After the obligatory face painting we headed off in search of bouncy castles and slides, a cornerstone of this event and one that Isabelle never forgets is on the menu. The lines were long but she waited like a trooper and got her chance to have fun. How these kids can wait in such long lines for such a short burst of excitement never fails to amaze us as adults. Isabelle git right into the action while Oliver stayed a spectator until he discovered the horse ride, then you couldn't get him off it. We also loved walking the street with them, checking out the vendors and all the people, stopping on several occasions to reunite with old friends and even Joan from Tupper Tots. We wrapped things up with a platter of food and a spot on a bench to watch the mayhem from the sidelines. It's a great spot for kids and we are not likely to miss it in years to come. Isabelle surely won't let us if she has a say!

Next stop Everest

Foolproof recipe for fun

Good luck getting her out of there

Oliver much prefers to gallop than bounce
